To prevent damage to the power steering pump:

Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme
right or the extreme left for more than a few
seconds when the engine is running.

Do not operate the vehicle with a low power
steering pump fluid level.

If the power steering system breaks down (or if the
engine is turned off), you can steer the vehicle
manually, but it takes more effort.

If the steering wanders or pulls, the condition could
be caused by any of the following:

underinflated tire(s) on any wheel(s)

high crown in center of road

high crosswinds

wheels out of alignment

loose or worn components in steering linkage

Brake-shift interlock

This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock
feature that prevents the gearshift from being moved
from P (Park) unless the brake pedal is depressed.

If you cannot move the gearshift out of P (Park)
with the brake pedal depressed:

1. Apply the parking brake, turn ignition key to
LOCK, then remove the key.

2. Insert the key and turn it to OFF. Apply the brake
pedal and shift to N (Neutral).

3. Start the vehicle.

If it is necessary to use the above procedure to
move the gearshift, it is possible that a fuse has
blown or the vehicle’s brakelamps are not operating
properly. Refer to

Fuses and relays

in the
